Is This Odd?

Freshbot comes...but doesn't freshen

[mbennie]

One of my sites has been hit hard by freshbot these past few days.

I noticed today that many of my pages sport fresh tags. However, pages that have had the title changed since the last update are not showing any difference nor are they showing a fresh tag. These pages have been crawled by freshbot along with the rest.

Anybody else seeing this?

Are you saying that only the pages that had their title changed do not show up as Fresh, whereas changed pages with a title in tact do show Fresh dates?

[mbennie]

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Nope, it's actually getting more and more common, especially if they don't find any new content.
Google also don't always show the dates for the pages, they go back and forth on this.
